The Framas
Framasoft propose a lot of services, they choose an Open-source free software, and they give a free access through their websites. They don't sell informations, they don't put ads, and the community is great! They finance their work by a crowd-funding called "de-google-ify internet":

Conclusion
This organisation is pretty interesting and do a great job! The only problems are due to the fact that Framasoft is a small association (eg: framadrive which has a small capacity, or even translations that are not all done in English). But the interest is great and i hope they will succeed to propose even more free and anonymous services and more... By the way, they recently proposed a new goal: Contributopia (more details here) to make even more stuff!
